Coming in a bit late, today we’re reporting that StarCraft 2 Forum has gotten their hands on two in game screenshots with what looks to be the new Zerg Swarm Guardian unit.

In the first picture, the Swarm Guardian can relatively clearly be seen in the top right corner. Another unidentified unit is found in the lower left corner - possibly, this is the new design for the Nomad.

The second picture shows a more blurry Swarm Guardian. The StarCraft 1 Guardian icon is visible in the GUI, confirming that this is indeed the StarCraft 2 version.

These screenshots appear to be legitimate, though we have not been able to track the source.

   I whant to see the new nomad because the first one looked like i could buy on a toyshop.

   The company blizzard has proved that work and more work and polishing and no pressure, is the right thing to success.

   Why dousnt other game company do like them? release a product that needs a entire year to be complete and fun.

   The thing is that blizzard foundsmen worked without job in the beginning and had no pressure, now them have infinite money so they dont need pressure, and because they are all gamers and enthusiastic game developers. they will never fail.

   Starcraft2 will be so damn good, i cant really imagine, starcraft 1 is pure good, but this will be pure AWESOME!!

   @Anonymous: There are *two* Guardians, so yeah. But to me this blurry image doesn’t look anything near Mutalisk.

   Oh, BTW this image has been discussed on SC2 Armory about a week ago.

   It looks like an old screenshot. You can tell by the battlecruisers graphics. It’s the old cartoony style with too much color.
